New mirror coatings will increase the volume of space LIGO can probe in its next run. Since LIGO's groundbreaking detection, in 2015, of gravitational waves produced by a pair of colliding black holes ...
In 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), made history when it made the first direct detection of gravitational waves—ripples in space and time—produced by a pair of ...
Albert Einstein first theorized about the existence of gravitational waves in 1916, and physicists have been on an endless scavenger hunt to observe them ever since. Scientists with the Laser ...
The journey began about 20 years ago. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) was built in Handford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana, to detect and study the gravitational ...
On September 14th, 2015, just days after LIGO first turned on at its new-and-improved sensitivity, a gravitational wave passed through Earth. Like the billions of similar waves that had passed through ...
A look at the technology that creates squeezed light in LIGO's vacuum chamber. The picture was taken from one of the chamber's viewports at a time when the squeezer was operational and pumped with ...
